agile resort brochure game july 2011
DESCRIPTION
This comes from my one day Scrum Overview course I run. In it I run the agile game Resort Brochure. The objective is to get teams going through the planning, execution and review process of using Scrum. Please forgive some of the formatting, I've had to fiddle to remove corporate templates and this screwed some of it a little. You can find more information on how to run this game at, http://tastycupcakes.org/2009/06/resort-brochure/TRANSCRIPT
